PRODUCER/ACTRESS ROMA DOWNEY HAS HIGH HOPES “SON OF GOD” MOVIE

Famed TV producer Mark Burnett and actress Roma Downey stunned audiences last year with “The Bible,” a popular History Channel miniseries that brought scenes from the holy text to life. Now, one year after the record-breaking show’s release, the husband-and-wife duo is set to bring Jesus to the big screen with “Son of God.”

The movie covers Christ’s life “from his humble birth through his teachings, crucifixion and ultimate resurrection,” according to an official description. While the film is meant to entertain, Downey told TheBlaze she’s also hoping “Son of God” has a monumental spiritual impact, too.

“We hope audiences leave theaters feeling they know Jesus more and also that they are reminded of how deeply he loved us,” she said. “This is a big, epic sweeping film — an exciting movie and sometimes a tense movie with intense drama and real danger.” (More @ The Blaze)
